Definición

  • THE WITHDRAWAL OF federal troops from the south after the Compromise of 1877 encouraged the southern states to begin a systematic campaign to reverse African-American male voting rights as delivered by the Fifteenth Amendment in 1870. Slowly and steadily, through a series of obstructions such as literacy tests, poll taxes, good character references, criminal convictions, grandfather clauses, and stiff residency requirements, African Americans were systematically purged from the voting registers in the south.
